Mueller State Park
Winter Snow Scene at Mueller 

Mueller State Park’s 55 miles of trails provide a 5,000-acre playground for the hiker, mountain biker, wildlife watcher and winter sports enthusiast. Two popular sledding hills bring on the sledding and tubing winter fun.
A popular Watchable Wildlife Area, Mueller is home to elk, black bear, hawks, and mule deer. Park visitors traverse the park’s numerous trails on foot, snowshoes, cross-country skis, horseback and mountain bike, depending on the season.  A popular winter destination for snow tubing.
 
Mueller also has two options to stay overnight. There are
132 campsites in the park; 17 of these are open for winter camping . The park also has three cabins for rent year-round.
 
Mueller State Park welcomes pets in campgrounds, picnicking, two tubing areas and along the park’s roads, but not on the hiking trails or in the backcountry. Keeping pets off of the trails increases the chances of visitors seeing the numerous species of wildlife in the park.  Pets must be on a leash at all times unless they are in their tent, RV or personal vehicle. Download
